When I was packing……

Mum said, “12 to 4pm, a technician is going to install a new television.”

I said, “I know that. Sister told me about that 2 years ago.”

Mum said, “Is any more of your students coming over?”

I said, “Of course not. Immediately I got her notice, I re-arranged my tutoring schedule.”

Mum said, “Wow, you’re looking more like your dead uncle, so so so scary.”

I said, “He’s dead but I’m alive. How do I look like him? What is so scary about me?”

Mum said, “When I was working for your eldest uncle’s, immediately when any problem arose, he looked for solutions.”

I said, “The successful are always the efficient.”

Mum said, “He’s too efficient.”

I said, “Too efficient?”

Mum said, “Once he came up with a solution, he had his staff execute it. Last night I was informed, the next morning immediately when the shop was opened, I got to execute it.”

I said, “What’s wrong?”

Mum said, “I told him I’d do it later in the afternoon.”

I said, “Why didn’t you do it in the morning but leave it undone until the afternoon?”

Mum said, “He questioned me in public as you’ve just done, leaving me no face. I gave him no answer but he told me to lay down everything in my hand and do it right away.”

I said, “Good move.”

Mum said, “Wow, I told you, you’re getting more like him, scarier and scarier.”

I said, “The scary are you! I wonder who your boss is.”

Mum said, “What?”

I said, “Your boss’s called you to move but you delayed it for no reason at all. I’d once wondered if you were the boss instead.”

Maggie said, “Yip sir, I think I’ll make another video clip this week: Kung Hei Fat Choy. Yip sir, if I give you the video tomorrow, can you mix it?”

I said, “Try my best to do it tonight. If not, the evening after tomorrow.”

Maggie said, “No problem. I’ve made my sudden change. This is my problem. Go with your schedule.”

I had a sandwich, switched on the computer and downloaded Maggie’s recording.

Another me said, “What are you doing?”

I said, “Mixing.”

Another me said, “Isn’t it tonight? It can even be the evening after tomorrow. You yourself said that.”

I said, “Still 45 minutes before the lesson starts.”

Another me said, “Crazy. Take a break. You’ve just done 2 lessons.”

I said, “I’m not tired.”

Another me said, “You’re now working!”

I said, “I’m a part-time lecturer. I’m not paid in this 45-min lunch time. I can surely do my own stuff.”

Another me said, “Who is Maggie? Why are you spending your rest time helping her out?”

I said, “When have I ever told you I’m helping her out?”

Another me said, “This is what Maggie asked you for. If not Maggie, for whom are you working?”

I said, “My Lord.”

Another me said, “Even if it’s the Lord, you don’t have to hurry. Take a break. Follow what you have said by - do it tonight or the evening after tomorrow.”

I said, “Why should I wait until tonight or the evening after tomorrow but not just do it right now in this 45 minutes?”

Another me said, “Hey, I told you you’re looking more like your dead uncle, scarier and scarier.”

I said, “The scary are you! I wonder who your boss is.”

Another me said, “What?”

I said, “The Lord delegated Maggie to bring me the task. But you stopped me from approaching the task for no reason at all. I’d once wondered if you were the Lord instead.”

I switched Logic Pro X and started mixing.
